Appli afion filed Kay 18, 1918; Serial No. 287,147. 7

arette or cigar primary olyects are to pro having an e ector supportedable for carrymg an antiseptic solution, or other medicines, the fumesof which may be cigar or cigarette. For instance-when the cotton iscoated with menl holder and is p or cigarette, .said extension tholatum,the ,eifect on the smoker will be to open the nasal time tendto 0001thus making thesmoke less oifensive and irritating to the sensitivetissues of the mouth and nose. I Another object is to provide a holderof the character referred to. provided with a detachable mouthpiece, sothat the medicated cotton may be readily inserted and firmly held in theholder at the end of the mouthpiece and the-entire device renderedsanitary and capable of cleaning at will.

A further object is to provide an ejector.

which is slidably held on the exterior of the provided with an extensionmovably positioned in the bore of the holder for engagement with theend" of the clgar having an opening, through which the smoke from thecigar or cigarette may be drawn out through the holder and mouthpiece.Other objects will appear as the description progresses.

I have shown in e drawings. accompanying this application and forming apart hereof, a preferred and alternate form of iny device, but it isconfidently believed that the invention is capable of modificationfurther from forms depart- California, am the inventor of new as cottonor the like may-be held in the. holder betweenthe mouthpiece and thecigarette for filtering the smoke and if.desir-.

passages and at the same the effect of the smoke,

' which ing from the spirit or enlarging the of my invention, except asI may be limited by the scope of the appended claims.

Referring particularly'to the drawings, in

which similar characters of reference are employed throughout theseveral. views and 1n the specification or like parts:

Figure 1 is a plan of my improved holder;

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the'same on line 22 of-Fig.,1; I v

Fig. .3 is a front end view;

F ig. 4 is a transverse section on line 44 of Fig. 2;,--' K dFig. 5 is aperspective view of the ejector; an

Figs. 6 and 7 are, partly in section and a transverse section thereofonline 77, showing an alternative form of device especially adapted foruse with wooden elements such as bamboo, cane for indicating the same ror the like.

In the forni of device shown in Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive, the holder 1and the mouthpiece 2. may made of amber, hard rubber, or othersubstances usually used for such purposes, the holder having a Iforwardly tapering bore 3, for receiving the mouthpiece end of thecigarette, and a slightly enlarged and internally threaded recess at therear end into which the enlarged threaded portion 4, of the mouthpiece2, may be screwed and detachably held. The usual bore 5- is provided inthe mouthpiece through which the smoke passes from the holder to thesmokers mouth, and the rear end of the mouthpiece may have a suitableform of end 6, asshow'n for insertion in the mouth 1 of the smoker.

An-ejector E is provided for the holder.

comprises a split sleeve 7, adapted to resiliently and movably engagethe exterior of the holder Iand a tongue 8 is integrallv 7 formedtherewith, which extends forward of the barrel of the holder and overthe end thereof, and thence is bent inwardly of and extendssubstantially of the bore 3, the tongue being slidable in a notch 9,formed respectively, a side view in an annular flange or shoulder 10,formed integrally of and at the forward end of the holder 1. Thus theejector is prevented fi m 0n I tongue.

' inserted intothe holder and rests firmly against the end thereof. An"opening, 13 is a formed in the end 11 of the tongue, so that the smokemay be drawn therethrough into the bore of the mouthpiece.

twill be understood I ejector E is moved longitudinally of'the "holder1, the cigar or cigarette-will be forced 4 may, as stated, be coatedwith any desired serted in the rear end ofthe mouthpiece iii out of theend of the holder by the-engage ment of theend 11 with the end of thecigar orcigarette. I 1

A quanitity of absorbent cotton C which .antiseptic or medicine, isadapted to be in the bore 3, or through'the front end thereof,

, as maybe desired, the end of-the mouthpiece when screwed into the holder serving to form a shoulder; against which the cotton' may becompressed, and the end 11 of the.

tongue 8 serving to. preventthmdisplace ment thereof. In the form ofdevice shown, in Figs.

and 7, the holder 1 is formed of a single,

piece ofbamboo or cane, and the ejector E 'ismounted on'theexteriorthereof in a manner' similar to that shown in the other form of device,but the mouthpiece 2,. which isalso formed of like material hasa shortlength of the same material suitably attached thereto and adapted to befrictionallyheldin the rear end of the tube 1 forming the holder. Itwill be seen thatdn this form of device three tubes of differentdbameter are used in the manner shown, arid practical and eflicient andrat the same time economical form of holder is thus provided. Itwill'benpted that in this form of holder, the rear end of the mouthpiece1 is cut on a taper, as at'14, so that it may be conveniently held inthe mouth between the teeth. The bore 3 of thejholder'being tapered withtheimajor diameter at the, open end, the

holder may thus be made to accommodate cilgars or cigarettes ofdifferent sizes, so that w en they are forced intothe open end of thebore this chamber will be air tight, the

rear end-of the holder being also airtight by the threaded connectionbetween the members 1 and 2.

The space provided in the ,bore 3 of the holder betweenthe'innermostslimit of travel of the ejector and the end. of the mouthalength/n11 "that it wil that when the piece 2, in which the cotton orother absorbent material isadaptd to be held, is of capable of beingshortened so be impossible to pack or compress the material Cto anextent which will prevent afree passage of the smoke therethrough, thusproviding an air'tight andnon-compressing smoke filter chamber in theholder. It will be understood, of course,

that when in use, the nicotin from the cigar or cigarette will becollectedupon the absorbent material C and will ordinarilybe. preventedfrom entering the mouth of the H smoker, thus 'roviding a cool andnon-irri tating smokecapable of bein flavored to 1 suit the pleasure ordesire of t e smoker by saturating the material C with suitablemedicines or extracts. The material C,1nay,

however, be used. for collecting the ni'cotin Without the addition ofsuch medicines, extractswith pleasant results; 7 u What I claim as'newand desire to secure by Letters Patent is: e 1.
